An Efficient Cooling Loop for Connecting Cryocooler to a Helium Reservoir
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnet system of the VENUS ECR Ion Source at LBNL has two 1.5-watt cryocoolers suspended in the cryostat vacuum. Helium vapor from the liquid reservoir is admitted to a finned condenser bolted to the cryocooler 2 stage and returns as liquid via gravity. Small-diameter flexible tubes allow the cryocoolers to be located remotely from the reservoir. With 3.1 watts load, the helium reservoir is maintained at 4.35 K, 0.05K above the cryocooler temperature. Design, analysis, and performance are presented.

Cryogenic cooling with cryocooler on a rotating system.
We developed a system that continuously maintains a cryocooler for long periods on a rotating table. A cryostat that holds the cryocooler is set on the table. A compressor is located on the ground and supplies high-purity (>99.999%) and high-pressure (1.7 MPa) helium gas and electricity to the cryocooler. The operation of the cryocooler and other instruments requires the development of interfac...
متن کاملA Direct Comparison of a Cryocooler-based Automated 10 Volt Josephson Voltage Standard System
A commercially available, complete microprocessor controlled, fully automated 10 Volt Josephson voltage standard system with a liquid helium free cooling was developed in cooperation between the Institute of Photonic Technology and the Supracon AG. The system operates with an array of altogether 19,700 SIS Josephson tunnel junctions installed in a pulse tube cooler. The integration of the volta...
متن کاملCFD analysis of a single stage pulse tube cryocooler with two double inlet valves
The internal working processes in pulse tube cryocooler (PTC) are quite complex due to the unsteady, oscillating compressible gas flow in the pulse tube. Although considerable theoretical studies have been carried out as of date phenomena occurring in a pulse tube cryocooler are still to be understood. The present research work is carried out in order to understand the cooling mechanism and to ...
متن کاملDesign of a Cryocooled Sapphire Oscillator for the Cassini Ka-Band Experiment
We present design aspects of a cryogenic sapphire oscillator that is being developed for ultra-high short-term stability and low phase noise in support of the Cassini Ka-band (32-GHz) radio science experiment. With cooling provided by a commercial cryocooler instead of liquid helium, this standard is designed to operate continuously for periods of a year or more. Performance targets are a stabi...
متن کاملClosed - cycle gas flow system for cooling of high T , d . c . SQUID magnetometers
A high T, d.c. SQUID based magnetometer for magnetocardiography is currently under development at the University of Twente. Since such a magnetometer should be simple to use, the cooling of the system can be realized most practically by means of a cryocooler. A closed-cycle gas flow cooling system incorporating such a cooler has been designed, constructed and tested. The aimed resolution of the...
